Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz delivered a pointed message following a controversial referee decision that benefited Arch Manning and the Texas Longhorns during their matchup. Drinkwitz, who has led the Tigers since 2020, addressed the officiating after the game, suggesting the call could result in a fine for his comments.
The incident occurred during the Tigers' game against Texas, where a pivotal ruling went in favor of the Longhorns and their quarterback Arch Manning, the highly touted freshman and nephew of NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning. Drinkwitz's postgame remarks highlighted his frustration with the decision, using the phrase "Gonna Get Fined" to acknowledge the potential consequences of criticizing officials publicly.
The Missouri coach checked on his players during warmups ahead of the contest, which took place at Faurot Field in Columbia. The game marked a significant non-conference matchup between the SEC's Tigers and the Big 12's Longhorns, with Manning's presence adding extra attention to the contest.
